I believe that State Defense Forces will be the building blocks of Southern independence. Please see the attached link to a news article: www.usatoday.com/news/sept11/2003-09-07-state-defense_x.htmState Defense Forces are authorized unter Section 109, title 32 USC. Not that we as Southern nationalists care what the U.S. government authorizes but being legitimate in the eyes of the Beast will keep heat off of it for quite some time. State Defense Forces come under the control of the governor of the State and cannot be federalized like State National Guard units. Therefore, they can not be deployed outside their State or overseas. State Defense Forces are the REAL militia much like the Southern State militias which were formed up as Company sized units before the War for Southern Independence and then mustered into larger State regiments. If every Southern nationalist joined or helped form a unit in his State's Defense Force and then properly influenced that unit's members, we would be well on our way towards independence. I will post more information on this important subject as I can. I'm interested to hear what you folks think about this. God Save the South, CornFedReb

the only prob with this is, well first they are un armed....but second, if support grows, and states get more and more members, the fed gov will find a way to take control and use them just as they did the nat. guard.
------ And might I add, if the states had full conrtrol over the guard, as they should. We would probably be alot closer to a free south.

Indeed, with the exception of the Alaskan State Defense Force which does occasionally carry weapons during the performance of their duties it seems that currently other states do not train in or carry firearms. However, to remedy the problem of being unarmed all a man has to do is pick up a weapon. If the nature of an emergency dictated the necessity of carrying weapons it would not be difficult to put guns in the hands of men. The kind of people who join State Defense Forces in the first place are x-military people and people who have an interest in firearms, the outdoors and military science. There's probably not any anti-gun people in their ranks. I'd be willing to bet that they've already got guns or can get them. The fact that they do not normally carry weapons could be a blessing in disguise, allowing the State Defense Forces to grow unmolested by the federal government.
As for the feds taking control of things which they have no right to control, well, that's why we have this message board. They've been doing that for over 150 years and we want to put them back in their place. Anything which is viewed as a threat to the federal government can be, at any time, taken over, smashed, killed or imprisoned to include State governments or institutions, the leadership of the League of the South, members of other Southern heritage groups or the individual members of this message board. That is the nature of tyrants and that is why we are here to fight.
Unlike the "National" Guard, State Defense Forces are completely volunteer. They do not get paid by the State or by the feds except when actually called out for an emergency where they are under the complete control of the State. Because they are not even allowed to receive federal funding or material support it would be very difficult under current laws to in any way federalize them. That's what happened with the State Guard units. We allowed them to start receiving federal funding and before you know it they were getting federalized and sent to fight the Empire's unjust foreign wars.
By the time the States decide to secede it will not even matter if the State "National" Guard units can come under federal control. It will not matter if State Defense Forces have at some point before come under federal control. It will not even matter if there are federal Army, Navy, Airforce or Marine bases in Southern States because, just like in 1861 whatever military asset is within a Southern state it will soon become the property of that Southern State.
We should hope and pray that before the day of secession finally arrives, that every federal military installation in the South, every "National" Guard unit in the South and every State Defense Force in the South is full to overflowing with well trained men and equipment. These assets will give us the strength to bargain with and if need be, defeat the federal tyrants.
God Save the South, CornFedReb
